Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
anyone else having problems with the promo code not actually getting you the free meals? i tried the coupon, and its still trying to give me a cost of like 20+ dollars. just wanted to check if other people had this issue
Mmmm yes. Underage drinking habits are going right in 2021 thnx to mat pat. (I’m underage)
I'm going to argue that MatPat made a slight error in the video. Not about the champagne, but at the 7:45 mark, MatPat makes the very common claim "that 75% to 95% of all taste can be attributed to your nose."
Regrettably, those numbers don't seem to have much empirical backing, if any. To quote Charles Spencer from his 2015 article in the journal Flavour,

Nothing too big of a deal, and Spencer agrees that smell perhaps plays a large or even dominant role in taste, but it seems there hasn't been much actual scientific study on the matter.
Just wanted to keep the usual high standards of fact-checking and scientific integrity, which is rightly promoted by MatPat and this community! Also, heck, possible fodder for a channel dedicated to food science.
Champaggin
Me who’s 15 :/
That's indeed a surprising amount of interesting science in the drink and glass!
I guess the timing of this video has something to do with the public domain? Which I learned from xkcd.
